Category: DIY Music Blog

This category consists of semi-regular blog posts in which I write about what I’ve been up to and what I’ve been thinking about recently. This is more like a good old fashioned blog and I’ll write about all kinds of things here.

Well… what can I say? I’ve been rather quiet on the DIY Music website front and I apologise for that. Other priorities, commitments and responsibilities have taken over. It’s not that I’ve abandoned the site, I simply haven’t had time to create new content for it. I am taking a moment now to quickly update […]

Hey you guuuuysssss!!! Yes, I’m still here. Still working on the music at home whilst raising the family and working the day job. But yes, I haven’t written anything new for this site for a long time. And I’m sorry about that. Time is precious and I’ve just had so many other things to do […]

Indeed… so much for my regular updates! Turns out that having a kid, a day job and a serious home studio and production addiction, among other things, leaves little time for blogging. But there you go… Not really that surprised, are we! Well I’m here now and I’m writing a little catch-up for anyone who’s interested.

Heya! Just taking a little time out to write another blog entry for anyone interested in what I’m getting up to these days. As mentioned in my last blog post there’s a few things that I’m trying to achieve… so how am I getting on?! I’ll tell you.

As promised (did I promise? I can’t remember… anyway…) I’ve not taken quite so long to write a new blog post. I’ve got a hell of a lot going on these days so time is tight, as you will know if you read my last post. But I’m doing my best to get as much […]

Hello all! As mentioned in my last post, I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment. As it’s been a whole month since that post I thought I better get on and write another update. I’ve decided to keep the blogs to stuff about myself and my own musical journey, whilst publishing the […]

It came so quickly I nearly missed it but this website is now just over a year old. The official ‘birthday’ would have been the 25th of April, last week. So it’s only right that we should have a little nostalgic retrospective of DIY Music’s first year of existence. It will involve lots of numbers…

Hey there guys and gals. Thanks for swinging by my little DIY Music website and checking out this latest blog post. As usual I’ve had plenty of stuff going on to talk about but this time I’ve got one major new thing. In my last blog post I talked about facing my fears and forcing myself […]

Hello, you! Thanks for clicking whatever you clicked to bring you to the fourteenth DIY Music Blog post. I really do appreciate you being here and I genuinely hope that you find the stuff I’m writing about interesting or valuable in some way… Today I’m going to write about something that I’m afraid of, for some reason, […]

A new blog post so soon?! Well, yes… and there’s a reason for this. I’ve suffered from a pretty major setback in the DIY Music home studio recently and haven’t been able to get a lot of stuff done that I’d hoped to. However, I’m going to find the silver lining around this and also share […]

Hey there guys and gals, thanks for clicking through to the latest DIY Music blog. It’s been way over a month since the last one, in which I wrote about some of my plans for 2016. One reason for the long gap is because I’ve been getting on with working on those targets, among other […]

So here we are in 2016. I’ve had a little break for Christmas and New Year (from work and the website, but not from music). Now I’m thinking about all the things I want to get done in the year ahead. What about you?

It seems it’s DIY Music blog o’clock once more. Yes. Here we go. Today I’m writing about reaching ‘peak plug-in’, a term I made up recently, interviewing people who know much more about stuff than I do, the holiday season, and a bunch of other things. So please, do read on if that interests you…

Hey there guys and gals! Here’s the ninth (not tenth as originally thought!) DIY Music Blog. I’m sticking with the new format of thought of the day / my news / other news again as I think I can fine tune that into a decent blog style. Let me know if you agree or not. Once again, there’s […]

Hello! Yes, it’s time for a brand new DIY Music blog. This is the part of the site where I write about what I’ve come across recently in my musical journey and maybe talk about about my thoughts. As I’m still working out the best way to do this I’m going to try a new […]

Hello to you out there! Welcome to my seventh DIY Music Blog which happens to mark my first half-a-year of writing, blogging, making videos and basically putting myself about on the internet via this website. If you’ve just joined me, welcome… if you’ve been keeping up with my output for any amount of time, thank […]

Hello to you, DIY Musos! How are you? Good? Good. Well here’s a new blog post from me where I’ll tell you a little about what I’ve been up to recently, including writing new articles about building up a decent home studio on a budget, more on my adventures in acoustic treatment, a new track […]

Hello DIY Musos and thanks for checking out the latest DIY Music blog. Today I’m writing about something I’m finally getting around to looking at properly; acoustic treatment. EDIT: Since writing this I was lucky enough to get to talk to Ethan Winer of RealTraps and get some really vauable info on acoustic treatment, as […]
